Vortrag: Baumzeit. Geschichte und Zukunft pflanzenfreundlicher Städte

In the organizer's words:

Lecture by Prof. Dr. Sonja Dümpelmann(LMU Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society) as part of the exhibition Civilization: How we live today at the TU Munich.

The principle of sustainability originates from the silviculture of past centuries. Paradoxically, its application often led to forest monocultures, which are considered unsustainable both ecologically and socially. However, forward-looking planning and future thinking can also open up opportunities for a socially just and ecologically, culturally and economically sustainable environment. What can we learn from the past for the future treatment of trees and urban nature?

Location: Technical University of Munich, Friedrich von Thiersch Lecture Hall, Gabelsbergerstraße/ Uhrenturm entrance
